In 2013, she founded Claire Murphy Legal, a specialist commercial property law firm based in Ilkley. Claire has built a strong and long standing client base of property developers, investors, business owners and occupiers, and counts national businesses such as Lidl Great Britain Limited among her clients.
At Switalskis, Claire will work with the established senior team to expand and develop the firm’s commercial property department. The Switalskis team acts for regional and national clients in the construction, retail, office, industrial and leisure sectors, including restaurant chain Nando’s.
Commenting on her appointment, Claire said: 'This is a very exciting opportunity for me to work with a team of like-minded people who share my values and approach to client service. I also see huge value in having back office compliance and administrative support from the team at Switalskis, which will free up more of my time to do what I do best and enjoy most: looking after clients and developing the commercial property department within the firm.'
